Introduction: Operationalizing Food Justice and Sustainability

Abstract

This paper argues that the researchers might take ideas about food justice and sustainability and make them useful by rooting them in a web of ideas stressing opposition to structured inequalities. In addition, they might emphasize the creation of participatory relations of mutual aid and cooperation. Thus, by operationalizing food justice and sustainability as concepts that are intimately tied together, they can find a common ethical core and grow those interconnections outward.
